Parents of children with Down syndrome face unique challenges at different stages of life. In this study, parents were divided into four groups based on the age of their children and answered questions regarding their coping strategies, hope, life satisfactions, and marital relationships. Results revealed that parents' coping strategies, but not other variables, varied at different phases of life.
